The Poetic Messenger

Everyone has a story to tell. Veronica White believes that stories should be told in a poetic or prose fashion that enable people to relate and feel the experiences of others. She believes that stories of people who cannot write or express their experiences in life must also be heard through written or spoken words. In order to tell the stories of others, Veronica has learned to empathize by putting herself in the other person's shoes or in the situation. As a result, she writes as a messenger to tell the story of the joy, pain, and frustrations of others -- as depicted in the poetic prose:

Anger swells
Stories tell
Of emotional pain
That is not mine to claim
The old
The young
Those who are illiterate
Must be heard through
Written or spoken words
They cannot write
They cannot recite
Dark tales that stole their life
Stories of shame
Stories of blame
Stories of guilt are not mine to claim
I am just the messenger of their pain.
